This tour was everything I expected and more! It was well paced despite many of the temples/ rice terraces being far from each other. Our guide August was spectacular! He had great insights on the temples and was espically knowledgeable about Balinese agricultural practices. Highly reccomend this tour for anyone curious about significant architectural and natural pillers of Bali.

Usually I don't like joining tours but as I was only in Bali for one full day this was the ideal way to see the things that interested me the most. It was very well organised and a very pleasant experience. Thank you

Great evening touring Tanah Lot with Gusti + other travellers! He was on time and super knowledgeable giving us great info on the tour. I would book again with this company!

Everything was really great. The Guide and the Sights. The suggested lunch in a very small, beautifully situated restaurant was also great. It was a beautiful day

We covered a lot of ground on this trip, so in addition to seeing the UNESCO sites we also got to see a lot of rural Bali. We found it all breathtaking.
